Xiao Bao

On the southeast continent, Severed Spirit Mountain.

At a small house within the vast bamboo forest, a figure slowly wakes up.

"Where am I?" the figure groaned as he spoke.

"Didn't I die? This..... Where is this?"

The figure began to assess his current situation. He closed his eyes and began to feel his own entire body.

He suddenly frowned. "My cultivation has disappeared!" He scanned himself again in disbelief.

After a few moments, he stopped and started to accept his reality.

Suddenly, he noticed something in the corner of his eyes.

He turned his eyes towards the table beside his bed, a letter was placed on the table.

Without hesitation, he approached it and grabbed the letter. He opened it and began to read the contents.

"Good day Jian Zhen, if you read this letter I suppose it's already been ten thousand years. The seal within your consciousness must have already been undone. And yes! Just like what you are thinking, it's already been ten thousand years since your death. Time has changed, just like what you see on the outside, instead of tall buildings, all you can see are tall trees, forests, and mountains. The disgusting air pollution also disappeared and had been changed to fresh air. If you can sense it, the thin weak spiritual energy has now become countless times more denser than in the past, although it was still inferior to my realm....."

Jian Zhen closed his eyes and began to feel the surrounding spiritual energy. Soon later, he was slightly shocked. "Damn, the spiritual energy has really become richer and denser."

He continued to read the letter, the following contents were just about an introduction to the new world. After just he died, spiritual energy began to resurface and become denser and richer than usual. Well of course this is the work of Ye. It is said after the aura of life started recovering, Kong and the others became the 'Five Great Ancestors', Kong is still the Dao Ancestor Kong, Ming becomes Great Magi Ancestor Ming, Nie Jie the incarnation of Heavenly Dao becomes Heaven Ancestor Nie Jie, Li from Sword God Pavilion become Myriad Sword Ancestor Li, and Fang from Divine Palace become Divine Life Ancestor Fu.

"Ten thousand years ago, they were in the Immortal Ancestor Realm and now they must have reached a much higher realm." Jian Zhen thought.

Soon he reached a part of the letter that made his face twitch.

"By the way, your name which 'till now brought fear and misery to all people, and now pretty much become forbidden and banned. I advised you to change your name."

I mean, if they are scared of his name, they should only be scared, why ban it?

"This is troublesome. What should I call myself now?" Jian Zhen thought.

But soon, he put that matter behind his mind and began to read the letter.

"... And since you completed the mission I gave you before, of course as your boss, I'm pretty much obligated to give you your respective rewards."

"This guy, what's he planning?"

"..... Now for your first reward, you already received it and that was reincarnation. Your second reward is this house and its surrounding 100-meter area, I've put a barrier around this and a few array formations. And for the last reward....."

">>>Special Body<<

"Ps. Goodluck! And if want to dominate the world again, I won't stop you again.

By: Ye"

Soon after reading, the letter seems in accordance with some kind of operation suddenly turns into a pure white light and merges into Jian Zhen glabella.

All kinds of information suddenly appeared in his mind, all about his physique, the current situation about the world, and information about all cultivation realms.

After absorbing all of the information, he opened his eyes. Purple lightning flashed through his eyes, and along with a cracking sound a tremendous pressure suddenly descended within his body. The heaven and earth shook, and weaker beings trembled in fear.

"This is my new body?" Jian Zhen could not help but be astonished.

Yet he suddenly frowned. "My cultivation seems didn't increase or change."

Looking back within his body, it was no different from a mortal, his dantian was empty and his body had no spiritual energy.

"Should I try cultivating?" Jian Zhen thought.

After thinking for a few breaths, he sat down and crossed his legs.

He took a deep breath and began to circulate his cultivation technique, the "Supreme Spirit Art". He relied on this technique to become the strongest in his previous life.

Soon, spiritual energy began to gather forming a vacuum. If not for the barrier set by Ye, it may alarmed the five great ancestors.

Boom!

Body Tempering Realm reached!

Although it's optional to cultivate this realm, he cultivated it to strengthen his body.

Qi refinement reach!

Foundation Building reached!

Golden Core reached!

Nascent Soul reached!

...

Thirty minutes later.

He advanced for more realms and only stopped when he reached his previous cultivation realm. Peak of Ancient Immortal Ancestor realm.

He is about to stand when something shocking happens.

Boom!

Legendary Deity Ascension realm Reached!

"Huh?" Jian Zhen frowned. "I stopped absorbing spiritual energy yet I've still advanced at ease."

If the five great ancestors know what happened to him, they will be angry and shout to the heavens and to Ye. One must know that they cultivated for more than a hundred of thousands of years just to reach their current level.

Jian Zhen himself also could not help but be shocked since even his previous self cultivated for a thousand years just to reach the Ancient Immortal Ancestor realm and he was called a peerless genius, yet with his new body he achieved this in just half an hour or more.

Previously he was not shocked when he reached the Ancient Immortal Ancestor realm since he thought it was normal as he reached this in his previous life, but now not only did he reach this level at ease it also didn't invoke any kinds of tribulations.

Boom!

Deity Ascension realm stage 2!

Damn! It was not even a minute but he already advanced to a small stage.

And soon, kinds of breakthrough suddenly sounded within his body. Each breakthrough was between a minute or two.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!.....

An hour later. Jian Zhen has no choice but to seal his own body. Only after three thousand seals when his body stop from breaking through, but he felt that his own body seemed absorbing spiritual energy. Although it was only small and few, it was still a little alarming.

His cultivation was also suppressed to the Mortal Order Void Returning realm.

According to the information he received, cultivation realms are divided into Mortal Order, Immortal Order, God Order, Origin Order, and so on. And his true cultivation has reached Origin Order.

Mortal Order is divided into Qi Refinement, Foundation Building, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Void Returning, Tribulation Transcendence, Dao Integration, Mahayana, and Immortal Ascension. And for Immortal Order, Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, Heaven Immortal, True Immortal, Mystic Immortal, Golden Immortal, Immortal Emperor, Immortal Ancestor, and Deity Ascension. Each realm is divided into nine small stages.

He fixed his clothes and began to look around his new house. After looking for a few minutes he only found a storage ring with 100 low-tier spiritual stones, 100 mid-tier spiritual stones, 100 high-tier spiritual stones, and 100 top-tier spiritual stones.

Looking at how even the numbers of each kind of spiritual stone, Jian Zhen could not help but let out a small laugh.

"Hmm, I should buy a few seeds first and a few chickens, pigs, and cows." Jian Zhen thought.

As for dominating the world? Nah what a joke, he only wants to have a peaceful life now, just like what he dreamed of in his previous life. Raising a few plants and animals, and having a leisurely life.

After deciding, he disappeared from his spot.

And he suddenly appeared at the front of a gate.

"So this is the Thunder Bird City?" Jian Zhen looked around and saw people lining up to enter, since he also wanted to enter he joined in and lined up with them.

And after several hours of waiting, it was finally his turn.

He paid 2 low-tier spiritual stones and entered the city.

And when he saw the city inside, he could not help but be astonished.

"Those tall buildings have really disappeared, western culture declines and Eastern culture rises." Jian Zhen thought.

He asked a guard that guarding the gate to where the marketplace was.

Instead of answering the guard only gave him a map.

"This is a map?" Jian Zhen asked.

"Yes, the map of the city. Here take this. " The guard said.

"How could I take this for free? Here's a spiritual stone." Jian Zhen said as he handed a low-tier spiritual stone.

After exchanging for few pleasantries, they both say goodbye.

Following the details on the map, Jian Zhen soon reached the Marketplace.

He looked at the sign at the top of the gate. 'Black Moon Market'

As soon as he entered, he saw a crowded people, similar to the people lined up before, all people were wearing robes and had a weapon at hand.

He saw all kinds of stalls, selling Herbs, Weapons, Pills, Tools, Stones, and even the insides of spiritual beasts!

Spiritual Beasts are called to animals who have absorbed spiritual energy and have embarked on the path of cultivation. But they are bloodthirsty and fed on the flesh and blood of living beings.

Just like the other people, he walked and searched for the items he wanted to buy.

He soon finds the store and sells plant seeds, and now in a fight of bargaining with the store owner.

After rounds of fighting.... I mean bargaining.

"Ten low-tier spiritual stones! No less!" The stone owner said as he continued to panting.

"Deal!" Jian Zhen said as he smiled ear to ear.

'Humph! Do you think I, Emperor Zhen only know how to fight? I know too bartering! If not for this I will not cheat that old man Hu out of his weapons.'

After leaving the store, the store owner can only take a glance helplessly.

"If I didn't let that damn demon out, I might get robbed. I should not meet him in the future, it better not to mess with that damn demon" the store owner thought.

After Jian Zhen left the store, he went to find a store that sells animals like chickens, pigs, and cows.

He searched around the Market for almost two hours before he found the place.

A pair of eyes suddenly noticed him, and soon a figure for almost immediately appeared at the side of him.

"Hello good sir, what do you want to buy? We have ordinary animals here to mid-tier spiritual beasts. And you can just call me Old Man Han!" Old Man Han said to Jian Zhen.

"Do you have chicken, pigs, and cows? Ordinary ones will do." Jian Zhen asked.

After hearing Jian Zhen's response, the old man lost a small interest. He thought this young man wanted to buy spiritual beasts.

"Yes, we have. Good for breeding and farming." the old man said.

"I want to take 5 males and 5 females for each chicken, pig, and cow." Jian Zhen said.

The old man instructs a worker to bring what Jian Zhen wants.

Soon the worker came back with a total of 30 animals.

"A total of 30 low-tier spiritual stones." said the old man.

"Here" said Jian Zhen as he gave a bag of 30 low-tier spiritual stones.

Jian Zhen was about to leave when the old man stopped him.

"Wait!"

"What?" said Jian Zhen.

"You know it's a hassle bringing that much of animals." said the old man.

"And?" said Jian Zhen.

The lips of the old man curled into a smile. "Do you want to buy this beast ring? It's used to store beasts only for 50 low-tier spiritual stones!"

"Ah..... No need, I have one here." Jian Zhen remembered that he also has a storage ring with multiple functions, one of which is to store living creatures.

Jian Zhen used his spiritual energy to activate his ring to store the animals. Soon, a light suddenly wrapped the animals and was stored to the ring.

"Done!" exclaimed Jian Zhen.

"Ohh." the old man can only sigh.

After leaving that area, Jian Zhen found an empty alley to teleport to his house.

And suddenly before he could teleport, a small body covered with fur, wraps its fur to his feet and was teleported along side him. Although he can choose to not allow the small figure to teleport with him but after he finds out it is a cat, he allows it.

After teleporting to his house, he turned to the little cat who came along with him.

"Hey, do you want to be my cat?" Jian Zhen asked.

Sensing his intentions, the cat walked to his hands and let his hands pat its small head.

"I see! Now you will be Xiao Bao!" said Jian Zhen as he lifted the small cat into the air.
